Landscaping in front of the house! 38 front yard ideas!
What should be the entrance area?
Beauty is hidden in the details. Pay attention to the signs with house numbers and mailboxes. They create coziness, while maintaining a functional load. Unlike new settlements, where the developer is increasingly deciding this issue, in long-established culture of landscaping outside the site is not particularly common. If space permits, you can plant a low hedge of spirea, cotoneaster, wild rose or a group of flowering shrubs: lilac or viburnum. It is worth thinking about the appearance of the drainage ditch. It can be hidden by laying down the pipe and covering it with rubble. You can strengthen the slopes with a geogrid, boulders or gabions. Much depends on the budget and style of the site. Particular attention should be paid to the gate group. The materials used should be repeated in the architecture of the house and landscape.
This will allow you to perceive the site as a whole, to create a harmonious picture.
The main trends in the design of the entrance area.
You can decorate the entrance area, focusing on your taste, but at the moment there are four current directions. Please read them before you get started. Each can be performed in any style, they differ in their functionality.
Openness.
The territory of the site is built into the overall picture of the area, creating a single space with the surrounding buildings. The fences are low, made in the same style. In order to make the territory of the site more private, we are building a system of green curtains that block the view of the main recreation areas.
Fence as part of the landscape, house architecture.
Application of common materials, technologies. Increasingly, we use the site as another room, but under the open sky. The space of the house and the street are combined and perceived as a whole. The street becomes an extension of the house. We use similar techniques in finishing: if the house is finished with stone and wood, then the same materials should be used in the finishing of the fence. The same with the color palette: we select shades from those already existing in the decoration of buildings on the site.
Techniques that “dissolve” parking in space.
Blurred borders, the separation of the footpath and the main paving, the addition of green islands will come to the rescue here.
Increased parking functionality.
Possibility of using the parking as a common space for outdoor games, sports. Near the parking lot, you can place a playground or put a basketball hoop. This option is suitable for owners of garages and off-site parking so that you can drive the car and play without fear of damaging it.
